the carbon powders. Later, and as
aa ;• ssible, the manufacture
~as changed to smokeless powders.
SMOKELESS PONDER.
"It should be stated, however, that
smokeless powder only was manufac
tured for field and siege ftrtii.ery. The
fact that the field and siege artillery
wss to be employed was not determin
ed until about the time that was
dfcc> -.red, and there were no funds
available for procuring ammunition
for these guns before that time. The
preparation of smokeless powder am
munition for these guns commenc-d at
once, but it was necessary to issue
Immediately the ammunition on hand
f<r the batter.es that were sent to the
fiont, uhd, as th;= was all charcoai
- r ammunition, it accounts for
the fact that only this black or char
coal powder ammunition was generally
used in actual service against the ene
my."
The furnishing of field and siege
j guns and timmunitum for the war
raised the same difficulties as in other
branches of the ordnance equipment,
yet the bureau furnished some guns
for the Manila and Porto Rican expe
ditions. The artillery was not used at
Santiago to any extent. Of the siege
guns, twenty-two were sent out at the
beginning of the war.

tion I nlesa Called ln by X 7. S.
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. — Assur
ances have been given by the German
government tha* the visit of Emperor
■. William of _ ermany to Sj>aki Is en
tirely devoid of a political character or
j significance; that the official trip of
| the imperial party ended when they
left Palestine, and that the proposed
| stop at Cadiz and Cartagena is large
ly a health precaution ln behalf of the
empress, as the sea trip would be long
and arduous lf unbroktn by these stops
, at the Spanish port.
These assurances seem to be volun
tary on the part of the Berlin officials
and are in line with the care taken
1 lately to remove and rem_dy the bad
impression caused by several incidents
occurring during the recent war. The
state deportment had not, so far as ls
; known, taken cognizance of the eager-
Bf*i moTrmiaita. and certainly there
was no purpr >se of inquiring as to the
stop in Spain, although this action by
the emperor was looked upon as rather
inopportune, to say the least, when the
peace negotiations with Spain aro mi
■ a critical Juncture, and while tech
; nicaily the war Is still in progress. At
the 6ame time. Germany has constant
' ly reiterated her friendly attitude, and
the i nip _r himself look occasion In
| his last address to the reichstag to
flee strong expression to the German
to maintain the strictest im
; partiality between this government and
| Spain.
At the same time tbe officials here
and at Berlin have recognized that a
Strong public sentiment of anim-sity

diately ensued, and in a very short itme all
the little frogs had been devoured as wc 1 !
as the tadpoles. It was a sost novel lessen
m natural history.
The demand made upon Mr. Fontz for
the frogs is far in excess of the supply.
For several years he bas been supplying the
Johns Hopkins university with medium
sized frogs for experimental purposes in tho
biological laboratory. He taies great pride
In being the possessor of the sk -leton of a
large frog which was prepared for him at the
John Hopkins laboratory. He has also sup
plied the table of the Recnert hotel for a
number of years. At present he has orders
for large shinments from the laboratories of
the following educational institution^: Uni
versity of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Detroit col
iege. Michigan; University _r Georgia. Ath
ens; Bryn Mawr college, Pennsylvania; Uni
versity of North Carolina Chapel Hlil- Syra
cuse university. New York; University of
Tennessee, Nashville, and Chicago university.
He has orders to supply hotels in the follow^
ing cities: Cincinnati. Su Louis. C-blcago,
Boston and Denver. Col. The average price
realized is 51.50 rer dozen.
During the winter season the frogs bury
themselves in the mud. and in order to get
them for market large nets are dragg?d under
the mud of the ponds. The catch has b_n
vtry small this summer, aad some of the
prices realized are fancy.
JUDGE LEWIS LEADS.
LATER RETURNS IXDICATE HE IS
ELECTED BY FAIR PLURALITY
Flgares From a Nnniber of Conntles
Are Still Necessary, but They
Will >ot Give the Democratic
Candidate Enough to Win.
The figures which came in early last
t-ver.ing from Steams cour.ty indica _d
that Judge Canty was elected. When,
however, the Otter Tail returns showed
:han 200 majority for Canty and
corrections came in adding to Lewis'
vute in Clay ar.d Goodhue, it was evi
dent that Canty could nut overcome;
the lead. Returns are BtW missing
from thirteen counties, but these will
show only a slight advantage for ( _n
ty or none at all, so it Is apparent that
Judge Lewis wins by from 1,500 to
votes. The tabu'jjtion covering

Energy May Be Transmitted Across

Natural Mediums— With Force
Created In America, the Inventor
Says, Machinery Can Be Ran in
Europe Preparing for Test.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A practical test is soon to be made o! the
wonderful discovery of Nikola Tes a of a
means by which electrical force may be
transmitted through the air to any p.int on
the surface of the earth.
Mr. Tesla is now busy at work in his labor
atory in East Houston street perfecting the
details for the trial. That force can be sj
transmitted and that his machine can furn sh
it in sufficient degree to be cf _s: commer
cial Importance Mr. Tesla says is b?yond
the stage of experiment and theory— it is a
demonstrated reality. He oniy wishes Ciat
before a public exhibition is given ever/
necessary part should be thoroughly though:
out and arranged for, so that there cu bs
no possible hitch in ac^omp'.ishlig rosu t _
ln all the marvelous demonstrations Mr.
Tes'.a has made he has never i.nc fatlei to
do what he proposed to do. and the reason
for this is he always perfects his ar
ments to the last minu'.ia before altera; ti-.g
to give an exhibition.
The test which !s soon to be made wi I be
ln the United States. If that is succrs _ul

TESLA'S DREAM.
Though the general outline of Mr. I___.
discovery has been given, the Invent) i
gave the firs'' extended rr__anctl n of tlio
inception and progress of his work.
"As far back as IK_." he said, "I fte
clared in my lectures tbat the great thin,; to
be sought was s: me ii-e*ns of utilizing the
energy of the sun. H< re are the e..rth a:.d

"A little later I experimented in tele
graphing througfa the air aud demonstrated
that lt COW Id be done at certain i 115...
as is now shown by systems ln use in Ku
rope.
"Then the idea came to me of makins the
transmission of i through the air
commercially lmport.ai,t. While at tho
world's fair. i:i Chicago. Prof. Helmholz, the
famous Gem tt, called on me and I
him wha» he thought of the possibility of

produce a high enough potential. Ther

necessary.

NATURAL IUDIU1I&
This is the gen-ral s_ite .-.__: of tne re
sults of Tesla's experiments. It will be seen
thereforr-. that Instead of tbe two wirre or '
cables which ere used ln transmitt ng sloo
ln the ordinary way, he used two
natural mediums— th. stratum of rarefied air
and tiie earth. The) ood nothing aDd are
continuous over the entire earth, making the 1
dlsance to which electric energy may be
tfM_______tttee_ unlluilud.
As to the practical working of his appa
rctaa, Mr. Tesla said:
"Thf mfith' n.*t!«Al d»&ils have al! been 1
studied and found perfectly practicsLle. I |
have consulted friends who are engineers, |
and sm an engineer mystlf. snd I am as sure j
of th<- working of them as If I were to build
■ bridge. A tt el wire has been mad. which
will support its own weight for sixteen miles. !
Balloons bave been Bent to altitudes tar
higher than lt will be necessary to operate.
It Will not •___.•• a wire larger than a spider's
web to convey the current to the balloon, ,
though the voltage at the point of ici 1111 ln
the apparatus in the bal'oon would be mil
lions. Of course in use there would be sev- '.
eral wires, but that would be to Insure
against accidents."
Mr. Tesla was asked what the effect of
storm* would be on the balloons — would
metecrc.cgical disturbances not make their
position uncertain?
"That was one of the easiest obstacles
overcome," he said. "The balloons w.ll be
bur abcr. « the region of the atißosphere where
■MM exist dr form. The ordinary st .rms
are only fro-n 1.000 to 14,000 feet high, while '
the balloons will be sent above the highest
stratum of clouds. They wii; be above tbe
frost like particles which exist above tho
feather clouds. Wires such as I shall uso
have been tested and sh>wn to have strength
to withstand any hurrioace. so there is no
possible _ae.har.ieai dlfE.-ul y with the under
taking. They have bean the easiest obstacles
to overc>_n*."
Tbe apparatus by whicb the tremendous
electric force ts produced Is called an "eieo
trie o«. ".ator." A technical description ,
would be understood only by exprrts and 1
could be made only by an expert. To the ;
layman al; lt ls necessary' to know is that this
oscillator produce* the
volts of electric force. It will be ln the bal
loon miles above th<> earth. Natural power,
such as Niagara falls, will furnish the orig
inal current, or. as Mr. Tesla says, "pump"
it from the earth. This current ls conducted
by a wire 4o tbe oscillator ln the ba.
Tbe current need be only small; one ampere
is sufficient- Ths oscillator transforms it
Into millions of volts of force, wbicb fl.w '
away in the ra.r__d stratum of air as t
dactor. This makes this stratum of a r
therefore, a reservoir of energy, and so ,
wherever another balloon ls sent up to ta?
It, power may be obtained to any degree for
any purpose.
Here, then la Tesla's dream of tbe sun do
ing the work realized. Tbe sun makes tbe
rlvera. ths rivers furnish tbe power to start
the first electric current, and the energy Is
thus pumped to run tbe machinery of " ths
world.
